By far and away the best concert I've ever been to. We had a great time. The boys think mom and dad are "the coolest".<br /><br />It's been such a busy summer. We've gone to Great Wolf Lodge a few times and Camelbeach water park. I tried to keep the kids busy. There were lots of places I would have liked to take the kids (Bronx Zoo, Claws and Paws, Mountain Creek just to name a few)but summer was in fast forward. I can't believe how quick it went. I enjoyed having the kids home. We were up late, slept in til almost noon and just out having fun. I'm going to miss having them around all day and so will Saige. Julie has made it her duty to go in and get Saige out of her crib in the morning. Saige gets the biggest kick out of "J". I know Saige will be like a fish out of water when the kids go back to school. She's loves tagging around with them all day. I'm definately NOT looking forward to the kids sports schedule...BUSY BUSY BUSY. It's going to be a crazy busy Fall.<br /><br />Saige has learned SO many new words and even speaks sentences. "I got it" is one of her fav's. She can also count to five. Before she jumps on something she will stand a few steps back and count...1...2...3...GO!! It's hysterical.<br /><br />Below are some pictures of the beautiful flowers and cake my mom got me for my birthday. I truly have the best mom, kids, hubby and friends ever. I'm a lucky gal!<br /><br />Oh geez and I almost forgot. The sights you see at concerts! lol. Below there is also a picture of a woman who was crazy enough to wear a bikini with only a fishnet cover up. *note all of the people around her laughing* I don't know WHAT made this woman think she should strut around in a bikini, for crying out loud her ta ta's were down to her knees. lol. My poor kids had to see this!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGXWevhESOSzQnKRAFYhd4kqFppaGhkwBcFGYgIaWzUSs4LNPZBLOo8fGpHgmdZcB8sLlg6vZWZibnp1cCzDC3DOdkltnallMLZFTXweYDfbFZ-b3OyL5HeFcsn-VFL6GchDqguRK1Ywyu/s1600-h/DSC_0983.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

I have so much to catch up on. This summer seems to be flying by. I've been trying so hard to spend quality time with all of the kids this summer because I know once school starts it's back to the same ole boring daily routine. <br />So far we have been to Space Farms (local zoo), Turtlebeach Water Park and Great Wolf Lodge not once but TWICE. We are planning on going back a third time August <br />25th. I figure it'll be an early birthday present for me. This time will be extra special because I'll get to spend quality time with my hubby. The last time we went it was just the three older kids and I. It was fun but I missed Carl. I'm not used to not having him around so while I had fun with the kids it was always stuck in our minds that he wasn't there. It took some getting used to. Something none of us ever WANT to get used to. <br />Any who, Saige is talking up a storm! Her latest word is yellow. She knows the color and points to it and screams out the word every chance she gets. She also knows when it's bedtime and when she is told it's time for night night the older kids tell her to "Run Saigie RUN!". Of course she takes off running and when I finally catch her she's laughing like crazy. She also lives for when daddy comes home. She loves when he gets home and takes her for walks. Well, it's not a "walk" for her because she's up on daddy's shoulders. This is her favorite spot. We call it the cat bird seat. She LOOOOVES it up there. They go check on the cows and Saige cries "COWIE" the whole way. TOO cute!<br />The other kids are just enjoying summer. Julie fell out of bed a couple weeks back and has an indentation in her cheek that we had checked out by both the pediatrician AND the dentist. Both assured me that it will go away in due time. We sure hope so. Stephen and Michael should be going to soccer practice but I just can't bring myself to go. It's SUMMER!! Geez, we need a break! <br />Busy days are ahead and I dread the end of summer. I'll post some pictures soon! Carl and I took the boys to an AC/DC concert last week and I'm dying to post the pictures but haven't had a chance yet. SOON I promise!Carl and Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05955642063216365074noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019119713349119276.post-32624485208630632572009-06-25T05:34:00.000-07:002009-06-25T06:44:05.211-07:00GraduationJulie had her Kindergarten Graduation last week. (slow at blogging I know) I still can't believe my baby will start first grade in September. That was a FAST six years. The graduation was SO cute. The kids sang songs, wore handmade graduation hats complete with tassel and posed for countless pictures. The video below is definately one of my favs. The kids had such a good time singing it...too cute!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggkkNNHtTobkhdY6DwUaMaDU07NdNrWSsKW96xJ2Ck-IcU4GOT_0ildbvVDRb9JQHVcqyr0DPhG9Sx5AC_ZydUbA_l7eg1pCJmMCxLi53gkEpf1ojwASw8sV6MBSBLxpwdhyphenhyphenu-VLClOdZ4/s1600-h/DSC_0694.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggkkNNHtTobkhdY6DwUaMaDU07NdNrWSsKW96xJ2Ck-IcU4GOT_0ildbvVDRb9JQHVcqyr0DPhG9Sx5AC_ZydUbA_l7eg1pCJmMCxLi53gkEpf1ojwASw8sV6MBSBLxpwdhyphenhyphenu-VLClOdZ4/s320/DSC_0694.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351259456063636658" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMnJad31IXAajRXWLbjk4uXfcKzdVzG99sRDGPo2cXNX9gxN3E0EUTyFBRL1HbwnDfXQrgIrzbBpWwabF_4VZEm9fTkTEd6zzvmkqJUCNYEnZLlgLVeRDdf6_ojwmR6Xtl5pDVXaJeSNt4/s1600-h/DSC_0707.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMnJad31IXAajRXWLbjk4uXfcKzdVzG99sRDGPo2cXNX9gxN3E0EUTyFBRL1HbwnDfXQrgIrzbBpWwabF_4VZEm9fTkTEd6zzvmkqJUCNYEnZLlgLVeRDdf6_ojwmR6Xtl5pDVXaJeSNt4/s320/DSC_0707.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351259439428544114" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9fq19-qUEblZUOSMZkNaXW8wNZTx75m1sbMGSqBrXbIir9CetUh4oWwKdH_nvB2AIVPaAJU-yD6zWdJOOEK75HyN05W0icJm0-8sbZ5rXbccYKqJ7QuaTnH1bGGO9bQvapQXhyphenhyphenknYJtJ0/s1600-h/DSC_0701.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9fq19-qUEblZUOSMZkNaXW8wNZTx75m1sbMGSqBrXbIir9CetUh4oWwKdH_nvB2AIVPaAJU-yD6zWdJOOEK75HyN05W0icJm0-8sbZ5rXbccYKqJ7QuaTnH1bGGO9bQvapQXhyphenhyphenknYJtJ0/s320/DSC_0701.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351259435601619106" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgln5Ln2A2UvFVQldueUkcSiBtC9uKo2KN1b52mudGOKtDsDNlnIcZTO2siJeg70sI8U28yHQncmAVXPStNR_moZckOvvKnFadNh_qZNOYkKpuuqhe9VSxRjtIG4FcY0icr_Jq-TELoj7mf/s1600-h/CSC_0686.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgln5Ln2A2UvFVQldueUkcSiBtC9uKo2KN1b52mudGOKtDsDNlnIcZTO2siJeg70sI8U28yHQncmAVXPStNR_moZckOvvKnFadNh_qZNOYkKpuuqhe9VSxRjtIG4FcY0icr_Jq-TELoj7mf/s320/CSC_0686.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351259424850747922" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL88L5CT4xijHz40L1XcJie5x8qQ2lJtBQ9OU8pTVOiWyMm2IlOINyaFx1AJCwt_81sBfGqYkzeTaaxh4l3Tc3dAlE_1iGuQNqzMwAHPJ6l8B-vGg-0jsHEv2levr99bKzyTOsF6M3-Cuu/s1600-h/DSC_0697.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL88L5CT4xijHz40L1XcJie5x8qQ2lJtBQ9OU8pTVOiWyMm2IlOINyaFx1AJCwt_81sBfGqYkzeTaaxh4l3Tc3dAlE_1iGuQNqzMwAHPJ6l8B-vGg-0jsHEv2levr99bKzyTOsF6M3-Cuu/s320/DSC_0697.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351259423090975426" /></a><br /><br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-328934d346f0120f height=266 width=320 contentId="328934d346f0120f"></OBJECT>Carl and Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05955642063216365074noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019119713349119276.post-66604553094900430582009-06-18T13:03:00.000-07:002009-06-18T18:33:31.447-07:00Goofing aroundSaige has become quite the goofball lately! She looooves horsing around with her brothers and sister. If they are on the couch she has to be goofing with them. Her latest thing is showing off her pretty teeth. It's cute, she cracks a big smile and points to her teeth as you can see from the pics. We are so very blessed.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRElgrZmNW6BVPh3FzoIhFanKh8WQ40wqRhm9qokJJcPVO79qbNvOjEwIhtIG8OkxmBdoh8n0qsJyHQB128NbOrrLkPAEmmoYOepDP2JtVQTkLYa-nOuO7WD3YEvUFVishLZ60p9bw-BQb/s1600-h/DSC_0370.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

Her ear infection had cleared up. He did note that she has alot of wax but was still hopeful that the weather change will keep the infections at a minimum. Hopefully this was her last one. <br />We are really looking forward to the end of school. We all get tired of the same routine every morning and night. I also look forward to the end of sports for the summer. It'll be nice to be able to RELAX at night without worrying about hauling the kids back and forth to soccer practice. Weekends will be nice too. No more Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon games. Woo Hoo. They still have karate but it's only twice a week so I can handle that easy. I would like to sign them back up for swim lessons at the Y this summer but we'll see how ambitious I am. lol.<br />Here's some random pics of the kids.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUH3pW0mx9q64V50g6b9X1FqTDWiT23dvfgrSfKbkhOZlYM5fsPqz1ZphePKrnLP90ISPioRxwsr125swb1fMeIABdtcc0Hk2D9E5q5whefvq8bAFWuIL9WKXmxMCvOUS_dtLJmTmxfUGs/s1600-h/DSC_0115.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

Julie is my shopping buddy. Julie loves to shop and can shop til she drops much like me. Saige on the other hand is so NOT a shopper. My husband LOVES it because it keeps my spending in check..lol. I on the other hand could cry a river over it. Anyway, yesterday Saige and I were shopping and she was GOOD. Actually, not just good but for lack of a better word she was dang near ANGELIC. So NOT Saige behavior on a shopping trip. I managed to get all of my shopping done and then some. I was so giddy over how good she was that I broke the cardinal rule of shopping and let feet the floor. Yes, I took her out of the stroller and let her have at it. Even then she was GOOD. I KNEW something was up. I took her to the pediatrician today and low and behold she had an ear infection AGAIN. Same ear as usual and this makes an ear infection every single month since we've had her. The antibiotics keep getting stronger and stronger. We know that the antibiotic works but she gets the infection right back for whatever the reason. In the back of my mind I KNEW she had one. The signs were all there. I guess I was just hoping and praying that it would just go away on it's own. The words from the ENT still echo in my mind..."hopefully the weather change will keep those ear infections away but we can't allow her to continue getting infections throughout the spring/summer. If she gets any more we will have to seriously start talking about tubes". UGHHHHHHHHHHHH. Tomorrow I have to make that call to the ENT informing him that she's had another one. I know what he's going to say. I just dread it.Carl and Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05955642063216365074noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019119713349119276.post-11659716576183315152009-05-26T06:35:00.000-07:002009-05-26T07:25:27.975-07:00Memorial Day, smores and sparklersWe woke up early on Memorial Day so that we could head down the road to Unionville to see the parade. A great time was had by all. The kids enjoyed the parade and Saige had a blast waving at everyone walking by. We just lounged around all day then had a BBQ that night. I bought some graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows earlier in the week so we built a fire and had smores. Boy did those marshmallows go QUICK. We made Saige smores but she had more of an interest in the chocolate (smart girl!). Could have cared less about the marshmallows and graham crackers..lol. She went right for the chocolate as soon as she saw where it was. Once we all had our fill of smores it was time to spark up the sparklers! Saige wasn't too interested in the sparklers because she was still looking for more chocolate. The other kids had a blast with them though. It was so nice to have a day to just relax and enjoy life. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq5AqK93YjhwhRIlbQg5OWnvheYU4EsoQZvv1Wbl6cK-Lo1NmxgsmKhsFICjE2Ba5HbEL1fWzh_be3kOagYGSDjCTSPIANoT7dqggQbEZrFn5x7KJ-jhY-axEevSYF_NiKHE1WQh9I0ejx/s1600-h/DSC_0239.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

It was so nice to see everyone again and words can't begin to describe how good it feels that the girls were able to see each other again. I love we are able to stay in touch with several of the TQ group. I think one day it will be very important to them to have had this bond. <br /><br />I'll have more of an update tomorrow but for now I'll post some pics of Saige, Samantha and Lulu. I also have a few pics of Julie playing soccer. She scored TWO goals!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi83RpjMOMr_7JgDP19-JD4rvBLrA-D8RJ3mZtmTevCtHCSpHuKHaglMqNxIJW81yDYFqdpAEQ3X1dVopKPD4cw20tuMF33-eqAocKFrFHl5lLKdjyKJS6Q0EcQwF7kCfyIlFIdAVXyPhuw/s1600-h/DSC_0121.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi83RpjMOMr_7JgDP19-JD4rvBLrA-D8RJ3mZtmTevCtHCSpHuKHaglMqNxIJW81yDYFqdpAEQ3X1dVopKPD4cw20tuMF33-eqAocKFrFHl5lLKdjyKJS6Q0EcQwF7kCfyIlFIdAVXyPhuw/s320/DSC_0121.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339183755095910690" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJXgLMxKYTbbSJ_ui0vD91e_wzVHbhuvT49n5hgaNGYeQkwdumZ0FRVYzvkM_O72M6jWrQuPD-FBmJRg2PjYm-rVz8EN95bBisAtP6_hEw7jxcRvDRIjTyn6IOmKoeXk3OF2dDQCECm3O-/s1600-h/DSC_0122.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJXgLMxKYTbbSJ_ui0vD91e_wzVHbhuvT49n5hgaNGYeQkwdumZ0FRVYzvkM_O72M6jWrQuPD-FBmJRg2PjYm-rVz8EN95bBisAtP6_hEw7jxcRvDRIjTyn6IOmKoeXk3OF2dDQCECm3O-/s320/DSC_0122.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339183751580925538" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRibSs-12mCPnsfJp3lWs5DdReLtwW06B4XVp7-oHYpBNpTyIkkRc7P-Ssf4lTjqr2Nm0yVVCdQP6jYII2CGQPkuM5tXmgrz22yRC1D6CS9_KHclyXGCqTdQqs0SK_mSEOG8tW6nW1_35I/s1600-h/DSC_0111.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRibSs-12mCPnsfJp3lWs5DdReLtwW06B4XVp7-oHYpBNpTyIkkRc7P-Ssf4lTjqr2Nm0yVVCdQP6jYII2CGQPkuM5tXmgrz22yRC1D6CS9_KHclyXGCqTdQqs0SK_mSEOG8tW6nW1_35I/s320/DSC_0111.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339183749386417794" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJOIjEdMbz4FTm-R2qGfAua05SCxB5U5uI9BWwJ5TOHne-r980YiOzYeUdPyOWlCQ_7cfZ8-4wxp-7hzQsQ74eJtOeurYNWOZAhVAlCcaTFkVzMIO9Nrj6XDw4ZdL_DBetBTxIU2IIG71r/s1600-h/DSC_0108.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJOIjEdMbz4FTm-R2qGfAua05SCxB5U5uI9BWwJ5TOHne-r980YiOzYeUdPyOWlCQ_7cfZ8-4wxp-7hzQsQ74eJtOeurYNWOZAhVAlCcaTFkVzMIO9Nrj6XDw4ZdL_DBetBTxIU2IIG71r/s320/DSC_0108.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339183740182964690" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijW6Sq4xHKbSR64VNzDBYwABesWCQUCaifjlp4fN-j0h3eeVPMxwpHXe1xfsuISfNOhJdjKnXtXVWzRqP7_eSzxWNWYZM3VwDzWqdGpWTrFc8TSs0swX4WAnu4p1AVN-Z8WO9Nmyv_TkAS/s1600-h/DSC_0103.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijW6Sq4xHKbSR64VNzDBYwABesWCQUCaifjlp4fN-j0h3eeVPMxwpHXe1xfsuISfNOhJdjKnXtXVWzRqP7_eSzxWNWYZM3VwDzWqdGpWTrFc8TSs0swX4WAnu4p1AVN-Z8WO9Nmyv_TkAS/s320/DSC_0103.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339183735459376226" /></a>Carl and Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05955642063216365074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019119713349119276.post-33374252233124169402009-05-12T17:35:00.001-07:002009-05-12T17:37:27.131-07:00Never a dull moment in this house!lol. Tonight our darling Saige decided to bite off the end of an eraser and stick it up her nose. Now she's ever put things up her nose before but has always been able to blow it right back out. Not tonight. It was STUCK and she was not happy about it. I had to take my otoscope to look in her nose so that I could see it then take tweezers and pull it out. This took several tries and I was starting to think this would be a trip to the ER since she was VERY uncomfortable. After having 3 other children I really thought I had seen it all....NOT!!! Below is the offending eraser and tools used to retrieve said eraser. This kid sure does keep us on our toes!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZP8ppNZigG0zli9qgICFYqoDgvu6pWUNAG3sc1YQxBG3WbZxnJiECm1pEgEpUZLY3Rnb8DwQsSKTt475tlCPjELuzu6YoHw2JI1omMNO_6fDwSS3BgNWZ8WwVPkdlK-VNSXiQeVFrpZuF/s1600-h/Picture+3111.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZP8ppNZigG0zli9qgICFYqoDgvu6pWUNAG3sc1YQxBG3WbZxnJiECm1pEgEpUZLY3Rnb8DwQsSKTt475tlCPjELuzu6YoHw2JI1omMNO_6fDwSS3BgNWZ8WwVPkdlK-VNSXiQeVFrpZuF/s320/Picture+3111.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335100886837782034" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiVbBI3ZlyR7Gi5__KqNOnd875SMgD62hVbxLnZJ6R_MqD_ChzCACUKCckq5hOj2rJdrcj4UWfVGxGVoMYOwZwjuBy2eH5Ko7TNSRJwWYYmnSp_eSvcnIlwzKa8RGWOZQc_ktWgB0q0ba5/s1600-h/Picture+3112.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiVbBI3ZlyR7Gi5__KqNOnd875SMgD62hVbxLnZJ6R_MqD_ChzCACUKCckq5hOj2rJdrcj4UWfVGxGVoMYOwZwjuBy2eH5Ko7TNSRJwWYYmnSp_eSvcnIlwzKa8RGWOZQc_ktWgB0q0ba5/s320/Picture+3112.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335100882561999698" /></a>Carl and Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05955642063216365074noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019119713349119276.post-69958416581193145932009-05-04T09:23:00.001-07:002009-05-04T09:27:19.361-07:0016 months old!Today our little girl is 16 months old. We are so blessed to have Saige in our lives.Carl and Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05955642063216365074noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019119713349119276.post-76046730841211093782009-05-03T18:04:00.000-07:002009-05-03T18:36:01.656-07:00An updateThings have been crazy busy lately but I finally have a minute to update.<br /> <br />The boys have been doing awesome in school. They just got their state report grades back and they got a 93 and 94. They are due to test again in karate this week but a doubt they will be allowed to since we haven't been able to go twice a week all month. Plus, I don't think they know all of the kata. The boys had a home soccer game this afternoon but lost 3-6. Oh well, they'll win the next one!! Go Bobcats!<br /><br />Saige is keeping us on our toes. She has learned to say J (for Julie). We're still working on getting her to say Stephen but that's a tough one. She always calls out to Mike. She is picking up so many new words. She says nite nite, bye, I love, da da, ma ma, mom mom (this is what she calls my mom), what, why, cup, more, kitty, woof, please, ouch, cow, bath, fish, no, eye and so many more. We did a double take yesterday when she changed the TV to video so she could watch the Wiggles. There's a button on the front of the TV that you have to press to get it to come on and I guess she's seen us do it enough that she had it all figured out. lol. She understands alot also. I think she even understands more than we catch on to. I still can't believe we've been a family of 6 for 6 months already. Where has the time gone?<br /><br />As for Julie, we finally found a new pediatrician and we absolutely love him. He went over Julie with a fine tooth comb. The last "specialist" (insert eye roll) we went to didn't even give Julie an exam, just said what she thought she didn't have and sent us on our way. Even had the nerve to tell us to take her off the antibiotics. I couldn't believe my ears. Anyway, the new pediatrician ordered a ton of bloodwork and not only said she should stay on the antibiotic but even upped her dosage. She is feeling a little better but has some complaints that worry me. Her "tired" legs and her inability to straigten her knees without pain are just a couple. The fact that my once very athletic child has NO interest in the sports (karate, swimming and soccer) that she once loved is another biggie. Julie has an appt with the orthopedic doctor this week and we hope that will either shine some light on whatever is going on or atleast rule some things out. I feel like I belong on the show Mystery Diagnosis these days. I just want to know what to do to get my little girl feeling better again. There's nothing worse than watching your child suffering and not be able to do a thing about it.Carl and Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05955642063216365074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019119713349119276.post-40274040206059544802009-04-24T18:14:00.000-07:002009-04-24T18:44:27.278-07:00UghIt's been an incredibly aweful week. Today was the worst by far. Julie hasn't been herself ever since having mono in Dec/Jan. The past couple months she's been complaining of aches and pains which for the first month I attributed to her recovering from mono and having her tonsils removed. The past couple/few weeks she's been complaining more and more about SO many different things. Belly aches, knee pain, dizziness, tiredness just to name a few. This past week has been the worst for her. We took her Tuesday to get bloodwork done that would tell us if she has Lyme or not. We are STILL waiting for the results. I had to pick her up from school today because her legs were bothering her so much and I could just tell she didn't feel well just by looking at her. The pediatrician was hoping the results would be in today but no such luck. I think he wanted to help preserve what very little sanity I have left so he went ahead and started her on a 28 day course of antibiotics. Nothing gained nothing lost if she turns out to not have lyme. I don't know what to think. On one hand if it were a positive result atleast we would have an answer to what is wrong with our little girl. If not it's back to square one and more tests.

WHERE did the time go? We had a great day today. We got up bright and early and hit the 10:40 showing of Monsters vs. Aliens. GOOOOOOD movie! The kids liked the movie and I got to listen to Hugh Laurie's voice...good deal! Then it was off to get the boys a much needed haircut. They were going through that "I want my hair long" phase. Stephen wasn't happy with me at first for making him cut it but when he looked in the mirror he decided he liked it. Michael didn't care either way. He's my easy going boy. After haircuts it was off to Laser One for some laser tag and arcade games. When it was dinner time we went as a family unit out to Log Cabin then came home and had ice cream cake. WHAT a day! I'm exhausted. The boys are still going strong though. They are in their rooms putting together all the Star Wars lego's that they got. I figure it'll keep them busy for the rest of the week. lol.<br /><br />Julie keeps getting better every day from her surgery. Mornings are the worst but once she gets her pain medication it is bearable.<br /><br />Saige was back to the ENT yesterday with another ear infection. This makes 4 in almost as many months. Not good. The ENT is hoping that once the weather breaks that she will stop getting them but if not she's looking at tubes. She's on another strong antibiotic and seems to be better today. Julie is going back to the ENT on Friday for her post OP appointment and he said he wanted to see Saige also, just to make sure that the antibiotic is working.

The kids had a blast coloring their eggs. <br />This morning we discovered Saige LOOOOOVES to collect eggs and she figured out very quickly how to pop them open and get the yummy candy inside. The boys and Julie had fun helping Saige find eggs. The bunny brought the boys a Lego set, Julie a Hannah Montanna doll and Saige got a ride on turtle.<br />Julie is still feeling sore from having her tonsils out on Thursday. I think the second day was the worst for her. Right now she's still on lots of pain medication and it makes her very sleepy. She's been getting lots of rest and eating lots of pudding and ice pops. Hopefully she will be back to her old self in no time. <br />I hope everyone has a great Easter!!<br /><br /><br />Nooooo!!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrgFIt2hVsjAtf9bkPvAcS0R_DSLXfx06p32SFWaP43L7RGR2RVsjS8wbPdRSK1VSmHw-ba-lyh_wsH82tEpW3M38QI8KQjX7fPwlSUgUgoENoPc1sCB2Dsbi30ShEWUBtIlwTOi0qZqH_/s1600-h/Picture+3109.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

It's been one year since we saw who our daughter was for the very first time. Talk about love at first sight! I had to do the picture of Saige holding her referral picture like so many before me have done. It's a cute reminder of where we were then and where we are now. One year ago all we had was a picture to memorize and today we have this beautiful little girl to love.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJPvDLsK19I-AJoODzMqr1WN4L6_acTlJ5Y0yQLXymbEwKzNiEtSQnFTLK332T7dgryD0AqTslXAhKiBz-P5ZSqd-Y7jGTQOxTSZHe0UaZinCcHbwfiPW0X-4GDcDrZXK7SXuyyd5d7tw8/s1600-h/Picture+3036.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJPvDLsK19I-AJoODzMqr1WN4L6_acTlJ5Y0yQLXymbEwKzNiEtSQnFTLK332T7dgryD0AqTslXAhKiBz-P5ZSqd-Y7jGTQOxTSZHe0UaZinCcHbwfiPW0X-4GDcDrZXK7SXuyyd5d7tw8/s320/Picture+3036.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323443090589113362" /></a><br /><br />Spaghetti head!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiigLjuQpR0vD_9SoHdcVnUssBL3DAO9BjqW9D_o6d-m9ZNRF2iRB962RGnzxGhsffMBIRUTs8kq7SeW5581DUxXNdDI1r1ptmJZfQiuEt_HTzMXLO18u-YKGsCDXhPBh99bKKnALJyuGJY/s1600-h/Picture+3025.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiigLjuQpR0vD_9SoHdcVnUssBL3DAO9BjqW9D_o6d-m9ZNRF2iRB962RGnzxGhsffMBIRUTs8kq7SeW5581DUxXNdDI1r1ptmJZfQiuEt_HTzMXLO18u-YKGsCDXhPBh99bKKnALJyuGJY/s320/Picture+3025.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323446531485261442" /></a>Carl and Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05955642063216365074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019119713349119276.post-36749024212372484112009-04-04T16:37:00.000-07:002009-04-04T16:49:46.989-07:00If I had a dimefor everytime I've heard Saige say "MIIIIIINE" I would be so rich. lol. This is definately the word of the week. She says it so crystal clear and with such meaning that you don't DARE take away what she is calling mine unless you want to feel the wrath of Saige. Fortunately for me MIIIINE has been nothing but harmless toys. lol.<br /><br />As for everything else, Saige is a whole new kid. She's done a total 360 ever since I switched her to a hypoallergenic formula. Amazing that I (along with a few members of the TQ group) had to figure out what was wrong with my kid. My pediatrician practically laughed at my milk allergy theory which turns out to be EXACTLY what the problem was. <br /><br />All I have to say about that is if you have a feeling that something just isn't right with your child and your pediatrician won't take you seriously then seek a second opinion. Shoot, seek opinions until you get someone to listen. Afterall YOU are the one who knows your child best.

I just switched her to a hypoallergenic formula and a very expensive one at that...ugh. Michael used to have milk allergies so he used to be on Nutramigen and even back then the price was staggering now it knocks you right off your feet. You would think it was gold. It was suggested that perhaps she had a milk allergy a long time ago (by M) and I just kind of shrugged it off. The more I think about it the more sense it makes. Good grief if it was a milk allergy this whole time and I've been giving her formula with milk I would feel aweful. Time will tell.<br />I'm overdue to post pics and I will post soon.

It was SO nice to see Julie out having FUN for a change. I was amazed at how well each of the kids did at skating. They all had the hang of it before we left. <br />The downfall was this morning. J woke up tired and sore. Her cheeks were red and she was crying so I took her temp. Yep, a fever. UGH. Monday Monday...can't stand them Monday's. It was a slight fever and this week was IOWA testing at school so I gave her some Motrin and sent her on her way to school...bad mommy. In my defense I told her to just go as long as she can and go to the nurse if she got worse. J made it thru the whole day but I decided to take her to the Dr. after school because she just looked bad and the nurse looked in her ears and thought she had and ear infection. The Dr. tested her for strep and she was negative and she had no ear infection so it is assumed that she has yet ANOTHER virus. Good grief, how many viruses can this poor kid GET? *sigh* <br />Anywho, the boys got their mid term grades and they did AWESOME! Woo Hoo!<br /><br />I'll post some blurry pics of the skating party tomorrow.Carl and Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05955642063216365074noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019119713349119276.post-30159434620234945542009-03-12T06:33:00.000-07:002009-03-12T06:43:01.206-07:00Saige, master of the pencilWe could not believe our eyes the first time we saw Saige do this.

The kids are all healthy and things have been finally getting back to normal. Well, as normal as normal can be for this family! <br /><br />Michael got his braces on last week and he was less than thrilled. Already we've noticed a difference in his teeth and he was pretty happy about that so all is well again.<br />Stephen lost yet another tooth. He's probably lost about 4 in the past 30 days. I'm getting to be quite the pro at tooth pulling!<br />Julie is doing great. We're still trying to put some weight back on her but other than that she's A OK.<br />Saige is hysterical these days. She LOVES The Chipmunks Movie and Free Willy. Everytime she saw Willy she would say "awe". The Chipmunks are a huge hit and Saige had me in stitches last night because when Dave says "Alvin....ALVIN....ALLLLLVIN!!!" Alvin then says "WHAAAAT!" Saige says "WHAAAT!" too! <br />Another big hit is the Spongebob Squarepants song. Every time it comes on she hollers BOB BOB!!!<br />I can't get over how quickly she's picking up new words and learning things. Daddy told her to go put a wrapper in the garbage and she did it! She also knows when we are about to eat so she pushes her high chair over to us. She's a HUGE help when it comes to laundry. I'll pile the clothes on the floor and she puts them in the washer...too cute! <br /> She has become very attached to her angel dear giraffe lovie so I did the wise thing and bought a spare. THese lovies are her favorites. She has a cat, a dog, a lamb and now TWO giraffe's. Believe me when I tell you I've ever seen her dragging around every one of them! <br />I guess that should pretty much do it for now. I'll get to work on loading some pics next!Carl and Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05955642063216365074noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019119713349119276.post-14177514693130010752009-03-03T18:25:00.000-08:002009-03-03T18:41:17.295-08:00Back to school they goFINALLY. Stephen, Michael and Julie as of tonight will all head to school tomorrow. It was a rough weekend. Saige had to go back to the Dr. Saturday because of a lingering cough. Turned out her lungs were clear but as we were leaving the Dr. office Michael almost passed out. The Dr. said it was either due to low blood sugar or the phlem conversation we were having about Saige. Either way he had me quite worried. Michael also came down with a nice case of pink eye. Fortunately we were able to keep it from spreading to anyone else. I guess my OCD is good for something! Michael had a fever Sunday and Monday so because of that and the pink eye he got a get out of school free card today. He needs to be fever free for 24 hrs before returning to school and I believe pink eye is contagious for 36-48 hours after starting medication. I'm probably the only parent left on the planet that follows that rule but I refuse to send my kid to school to make others sick. Another OCD thing I guess! Julie continues to get better each day. All she has left of mono is the weight loss (10lbs) and a nasty cough. She actually fits in pants again that I was about to get rid of pre mono. Stephen stayed home today honestly, just because. He's actually been quite healthy but I was too lazy to bring him to school today.<br />Lets hope my kids will all be back to their normal happy healthy selves to stay!!<br />Ohhh...this weekend is snow tubing...YAAAAY!!!Carl and Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05955642063216365074noreply@blogger.com0
